Colloquio
Applied through college career website and within a week received a phone interview. I had a friend who had worked there in the past so knew somewhat what to expect. For the questions about me, they asked about what I was proud of, a difficult team situation and how you solved that, and other standard things. My friend told me that they would also ask about a company whose marketing strategy I admire, which they did. Be ready for that one and to explain why in a detailed and thoughtful way

I found out about the internship through a club moderator at my University. I was put on a list of interested candidates, and then went and submitted my resume online. Other candidates said there was an intensive IQ-type test that they had to do online as well; I took the test a year ago applying for a summer conference with them so my test results had been saved. I received an email the next day asking to set up a phone interview.
I phone interviewed with an account manager for a little over an hour. Most of the questions were pretty basic, "tell me about yourself", "why P&G", "tell me about a time when.."-- they're about 90% behavioral. I felt like I really connected with my interviewer, so we small-chatted a bit and I think that really let her see my personality.
A few weeks later the same interviewer emailed me asking to set up another short phone interview, about 30 minutes. I think this was because our first conversation was cut off and she didn't ask all of her required questions. They were more behavioral questions.
A few weeks later I received an email inviting me to a conference in Cincinnati. All expenses were paid. It is a two-day conference with applying interns from all over the country. First night is just dinner and presentations. Next morning is an IQ test, tour, and 2:1 interview with more account managers and people involved in CBD. The interview is just more behavioral and pretty basic questions. I got a call the next day and accepted.

Got through the initial screening and through to the first interview round. Interviewers were asking very detailed questions about whatever was on my resume. The interview wasn't in person, which made it difficult to hear exactly what they were saying at times, and vice versa. Both interviewers were pleasant and easy to talk to, and seemed to really enjoy working at P&G.

Attended info session on campus and spoke with many CBD managers. Application done online with online assessment tests which should be taken seriously as this is the first step that filters out majority. Career advisers are very helpful in helping you prepare! Prepare for global reasoning test by looking at P&G's site with their sample qs. They didn't share scores but I made it to the final interview held at headoffice (your interview score and test score are used to determine if you proceed to final round)
Final interview- lunch with a senior CBD manager and an interview with two CBD directors. Very similar questions to first round but the amount of detail they probe you for is to great extents. Left the interview with confused feeling because I couldn't connect with my interviewers which is a hit or miss. Another story that I was at a disadvantage for being interviewed over the phone and in person at their office which made communication a bit of an issue (from my perspective)
Received a rejection within two weeks. After following up for feedback they informed me that they wanted to see more evidence from my interview answers. All in all a great experience that allowed me to learn a lot about myself and the time in between each step lets you reflect on if working for P&G is right for you.
Entire process took well over a month but P&G really does invest time and resources into anyone they see with potential. All interview candidates were provided with opportunity to speak with managers over lunch, tour the office and get a nice taste of what it would be like to be a P&Ger. No idea how many were shortlisted for final round but know that if you've made it as far as final that they did see something- it's up to you to showcase your skills and strengths at every step but be yourself. The difference between a candidate hired and candidate at final round is really how well you connect with your interviewer given that the questions asked in first and second interview are highly similar and meant to be used to assess if they see you as a P&G fit (note that you should be highly prepared with many examples of all possible interview qs).
